All The Difference
A Documentary Film
A new documentary following the struggles of young African-American men coming of age in Chicago, Illinois.
A quick synopsis of the film:
The largely invisible and often crushing struggles of young African-American men come vividly — and heroically — to life in All the Difference, which traces the paths of two teens from the South Side of Chicago who dream of graduating from college. Statistics predict that Robert and Krishaun will drop out of high school, but they have other plans. Oscar®-nominated producer/director Tod Lending's intimate film, executive produced by author Wes Moore, follows the young men through five years of hard work, sacrifice, setbacks and uncertainty. As they discover, support from family, teachers and mentors makes all the difference in defying the odds. (Spoiler alert - one of the young men in the film joins City Year).
The screening will be followed by a moderated panel discussion, and we would love for your voices to be heard as people who work with students who face similar struggles every day.
